Florida Perils

Dear Secret Blogiary,

As further proof that people need clear instructions so as to avoid doing stupid shit:

It's like nature. Only Better!

Dear Secret Blogiary,

After the week of chaos I had, it was nice to take a little breather and step out into nature. The girls and I went for a much needed overnight camping trip. The awesome thing about it is the campsite is local, so not much traveling is required and I get the benefit of being disconnected while still within Emergency Service Providers (of course, since I had no bars on my cell I couldn’t contact an Emergency Service if my life depended on it…).

After setting up camp, we decided to try our hand at a nature walk.

Big Sis declared the trail, “Sketchy.”



See how "sketchy?

Little Sis was disturbed by the amount of overhang and kept eyeing the canopy with suspicion.


I admit, even I was a bit concerned about this "shady" overhang.



Me? I tried to convince the girls that every noise they heard was a cougar.

They didn’t buy it.

The only wildlife we saw, aside from birds, were:

Spider

Hermit Crab
(Probably suffering from a concussion after being dropped from the equivalent of a 500 story high rise)



Lizard



I love taking pictures of unusual looking trees and it seemed that almost every tree had an unusual aspect to it. Here are a few of my favorites:

Our campground ran along side of a salt water marsh which makes for a beautiful backdrop when stumbling bleary-eyed to the bathroom!

And of course, a camping trip would not be complete without...mmmm....S'mores!
